Is there any reason why a 1000w psu shouldn't work in an old Athlon x64 system? It is backwards compatible with the 4 pin square 12v connection, and the computer boots fine with it's old 300w supply, but If I throw a 1000w into it, the PSU comes on, but the CPU fan goes full blast and it doesn't post.
Is the machine so old that it just can't handle that kind of power? You would think the PSU would scale down output as needed.
Thanks for any help.
